    Package        : p7zip-rar
    Version        : 16.02+really25.00+ds-0+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-53816
    Debian Bug     : 1109494

    Jaroslav Lobaevski from GitHub Security Lab discovered a memory
    corruption vulnerability in the RAR module of p7zip, a now
    unmaintained fork of 7-Zip, a file archiver handling multiple
    formats. It is unlikely it could lead to arbitrary code execution, but
    it may lead to denial of service.

    To address this vulnerability, whose fix is unfortunately not
    isolated, and to remain compatible with the new p7zip package
    (DLA-4576-1), this update replaces the p7zip code base with 7-Zip v25
    (which now supports GNU/Linux natively), slightly modified to make it
    reasonably compatible with p7zip.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    16.02+really25.00+ds-0+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your p7zip-rar packages.

    For the detailed security status of p7zip-rar please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
